As per the latest branch change criteria at IIT BHU, the number of incoming students to a branch after a branch change should not surpass 10% of the current students in that branch. For instance, if the Mechanical branch has 87 students enrolled in the first year, then the number of students that can change their branch to Mechanical is 10% of 87 = 8.7. Then 8 students are eligible for branch change from Mechanical

The application for branch change is usually invited after the end of the first year.

A close friend of mine is currently pursuing an integrated program at JNTU and is not at all pleased with its standard of education. He stated a few points that clarified his stance further

• Majority of the subjects are taught by lecturers and not the actual professors. They have no interest in teaching and teach only a handful of subjects and leave the rest to untrained and underqualified lecturers.
• Introduction of new courses like IDP, IDDMP, IIDDMP is greatly affecting the quality of education. The high batch size affects the student-teacher ratio and the limited resources cannot be availed by everyone.
• JNTU  5-year course placements are very poor. CBIT has better companies than JNTU that offer better packages and opportunities.
• JNTU has a better location than CBIT which is in a remote location and has limited outside life. 
• JNTU has no transport facilities so this might be a major obstacle throughout your program.

In all, I would suggest you go for CBIT as it seems to be in a better position than JNTU both in terms of placements as well as quality of education.

Only freshers are not allotted single seater rooms at AIIMS Bhubaneswar. The rest of the students are allotted single rooms.

The authorities are somewhat right in allotting shared rooms to first year students. To be away from home for the first time can be very emotionally draining for many students. In such circumstances, having someone around helps them feel connected and happy. Other than that, sharing a room with someone from a different cultural background helps in making them broad-minded and accepting of others’ values. They have someone by their side in a new environment, which is another important benefit of shared rooms. 

Thus, not allotting single seater rooms to freshers is a good decision made by the AIIMS Bhubaneswar authorities.

IIT Dhanbad is one of the top engineering institutions in India, and as such, its students face a number of challenges. Some of the most common problems include:

• The students are not provided with 24/7 Internet faculty and even the LAN connections are limited to a fixed time duration.
• The students of the Earth Science branch are given more preference and they are sent for training expeditions and industrial exposure. 
• IIT Dhanbad has a reputation but only as ISM, its former name. Rarely do the recruiters and students know that ISM has been converted to IIT Dhanbad.
• There is no inter-departmental and interdepartmental coordination. Academics, institutional administration, and hostel administration behave as if they are three totally unrelated bodies. If you want to report a problem, you will just be referred by someone to somebody else and yes, this vicious cycle continues.
• The classrooms are not well-equipped and lack facilities like air conditioning and projectors.
• Most teaching assistants lack experience and knowledge of their fields. Moreover, they have no interest in helping the students. 
• The juniors are dominated by the seniors and a few cases of ragging might also occur.
• Students are asked to dress according to the college rules which are very illogical.

It's important to keep in mind that these are just general challenges and that individual experiences may vary.
